Rock 'n roll shows don't go as planned, because life doesn't go as planned. You have to change when your world changes.
Friday night, Kip's tribute show was a family affair. Kurt Baker was playing Kip's guitar, but for one song he switched with Anthony (I think?), the son of the Pontiff's other guitar player.
Almost a Hallmark moment, Dad and son playing on stage together for the first time. Except the switch happened a little too fast – Kurt's a few inches taller than Anthony, and the strap was just too long to stay on his shoulders. After a couple failed attempts, Anthony propped his leg on the monitor and rocked out with the guitar safely resting.
"We're all doing the best we can," said Kurt. He wasn't talking about the equipment mishap, but could have been, because that's just plain true. We are all doing the best we can.
